Chiefs beats Panthers at somber Arrowhead Stadium

Against the backdrop of an unthinkable

tragedy, the Kansas City Chiefs gave themselves a reason to be

proud Sunday - and perhaps the impetus to let the healing begin. Brady Quinn threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns, and Jamaal

Charles ran for 127 yards in the Chiefs' 27-21 victory over their

Carolina Panthers. The win snapped an eight-game losing streak

during one of the most difficult seasons the franchise has ever

experienced. The win came just one day after Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher

shot his girlfriend multiple times at a residence near Arrowhead

Stadium, then drove to the team's practice facility and turned the

gun on himself as general manager Scott Pioli and coach Romeo

Crennel looked on. Pioli walked through the press box before the game and said he

was doing "OK," though he didn't stop to talk. Crennel was on the

sideline coaching his team to an uplifting victory.
